Trying to adapt index.php code

[keress]

We don't want a username/password sign up per se on our site, but we do want people to be able to sign up for a newsletter.  I thought if I could grab the code for user signup and take people to that page, it would serve this function.  Then, we'd install the massmail add-on, and be good to go. 

I found this code:

<a href="<?php echo SIGNUP_URL; ?>"><?php echo $TEXT['SIGNUP']; ?></a>

and it's not quite working.  It's looking for the right url.  I'm missing another bit of code that will tell it what to make of the 'signup_url' variable.  Can anybody help me identify this?
